Synopsis

This well-rounded, thorough treatment for advanced undergraduates and graduate students introduces basic concepts of mathematical physics involved in the study of linear systems, with emphasis on eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, and Green's functions. Part one considers systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom; part two extends concepts developed for discrete systems to continuous systems; and part three covers approximation methods. 1960 edition.

About this title

About the Author

American theoretical physicist Gerald Goertzel (1919–2002) worked on the Manhattan Project, formed Sage Industries, and worked for many years at IBM, where he was active in design automation, data compression, and digital printing. He developed the Goertzel algorithm, a data signal processing technique. Nunzio Tralli (1917–79) taught at St. John's University and was the author of several books on physics, including Classical Electromagnetic Theory and Atomic Theory: An Introduction to Wave Mechanics, which he co-wrote with Frank R. Pomilla.
